Opsera MCP Configuration Guide

This guide will walk you through the steps to configure your Opsera MCP (Model Context Protocol) server access in Cursor IDE.

Prerequisites

• Access to Opsera Portal with valid login

Configuration Steps

Step 1: Access the Opsera Portal

1. Navigate to your Opsera portal
2. Log in with your credentials
3. Once logged in, you will see the Opsera home page

Step 2: Navigate to Personal Access Tokens

1. Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner
2. From the dropdown menu, select "Profile"
3. You will land on the "My Profile" page
4. Click on the "Access Tokens" tab at the top of the page

Step 3: Generate API Access Token

On the "Access Tokens" page, you will see the "Generate Personal Access Token" section.

Fill in the following fields:

Name

• Enter a descriptive name for your token (e.g., "MCP Integration")
• Spaces, letters, numbers, dashes, colons, underscores, and periods are allowed

Expires After

• Select the expiration period from the dropdown (default: 1 Month)
• Options typically include: 1 Month, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year

Scope

• Select "API Access" (full read/write access)
• This grants complete read/write access to the API, including all Pipeline and Tool Registry routes based on individual resource access rules

Create Token

Click the "Create" button to create the token.

IMPORTANT: Once generated, copy the token immediately!

• The token will be displayed only once
• It will be in JWT format (starting with "eyJ...")
• Store it securely as you won't be able to see it again

Step 4: Configure MCP in Cursor IDE

1. Locate your Cursor MCP configuration file:

   • macOS/Linux: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
   • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json

2. Open the mcp.json file in a text editor

3. Add the Opsera MCP server configuration with your API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opsera-ai-agent": {
      "url": "https://agent.opsera.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Replace "YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE" with the actual API token you copied in Step 3

5. Save the mcp.json file

Step 5: Verify Configuration

1. Save the mcp.json file
2. The Opsera MCP server should now be available in your MCP tools list
3. You can verify the connection by checking if Opsera-related tools and functions appear in your available MCP functions

Configuration Example

Complete example of mcp.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opsera-ai-agent": {
      "url": "https://agent.opsera.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ey..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: The token shown above is abbreviated. Your actual token will be much longer.

Troubleshooting

Authentication Error (401 Unauthorized)

• Verify your API token is correct and not expired
• Check if the token has the required scopes/permissions (should be "API Access")
• Generate a new token if the current one has expired
• Ensure there are no extra spaces before or after the token

Connection Error

• Verify the URL is correct for your Opsera instance
• Check your network connection and internet connectivity
• Confirm the agent URL is accessible from your network

MCP Server Not Appearing in Cursor

• Completely restart Cursor IDE (close all windows)
• Check that the mcp.json syntax is valid JSON format
• Verify the file is saved in the correct location
• Check file permissions to ensure the file is readable

Token Expired

1. Navigate back to the Personal Access Tokens page
2. Generate a new token with appropriate expiration date
3. Update the mcp.json file with the new token
4. Restart Cursor IDE
